First the closeup - I like adding those, because usually I spend most of the time rendering the faces and eyes, and they end up pretty small on the canvas. (I sure hope the quality of this one looks better when the post goes up, bc the preview in the draft looks a bit crunchy tbh)

Now the speedpaint: you are watching the work of 5 ½ hours in about 2 ¼ minutes. This one went pretty smootly. I already had an idea of how I wanted to draw this when I sat down so I got into a flow really quickly (... and absolutely forgot the time, whoops)(I didn't even notice I had put on the headphones but forgot to turn on music until I was about 4 hours in). At some point I reajusted the framing by cutting the canvas, because I felt like it was too zoomed out.

This might be actually the most rendered Ao Ex fanart I've posted yet. (but not the one I spent most time on haha - I think that goes to the one I did with the Encanto crossover). Though I advise against looking too closely at the chibis. I have 0 practice drawing chibis, so this was a bit difficult for me (and I still feel like they don't look quite right but I think it's fine). I also think it was the part I struggled with the most. I know the original was only Mephisto themed, but I felt like adding Rin, Yukio and Amaimon to this.
